New Colorado football commitment Marcus Loud can ask CU defensive line coach Kanavis McGhee if the Buffs assistant remembers their high school fight song.

Loud, a 6-foot-4, 237-pound defensive end, is a senior at Houston’s Wheatley High — the alma mater of McGhee. Loud visited CU this past weekend and, according to Rivals.com, extended a commitment to the Buffs.

In no surprise, McGhee, according to the recruiting-based website, was CU’s primary recruiter for Loud.

Loud previously had committed to Missouri but decided to take further visits.

“”I really like the team chemistry,” Loud told Rivals.com of his visit to Boulder. “It is like a big family with them.”

According to Rivals.com, Loud’s offer list also included Michigan State, Mississippi State, TCU, Texas Tech, Iowa State and Wake Forest.

He became Colorado’s 14th known commitment for the current recruiting cycle.
